Data Robotics has, for several years, been making a very interesting series of data storage devices.

You can tell from the cable that it is a network device. Further the lights may give you a hint that it stores up to four drives. But that alone is not what makes it so interesting. Perhaps you know about Raid technologies which protect your data by storing it in a redundant format so that you are always protected. The way raid works is that if a drive dies your professional tech support person can relatively easily replace the drive without data loss even if the drive is totally destroyed.

That’s not what Drobo does… well it sort of is<g>. Data Robotics uses its own proprietary technology to add one additional and extraordinary feature. That is, you can do it yourself without the need for a technician. Pop one drive out push another drive in and you’re in business with a new drive replacing your old. Better yet the drives can be of any size and any manufacturer.
